MidAmerica Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This Monmouth home was accustomed to flooding, especially during rain. Now, the homeowners in Monmouth, IL now have a dry basement thanks to our WaterGuard system.

Open dirt floors crawlspaces can lead to a handful of problems: moisture in the home, mold growth, and energy deficiency to name a few. Encapsulated these crawlspaces can help prevent future home issues with the use of CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a thick liner that seals the ground from the home, providing a moisture barrier. If moisture cannot enter, mold has no “food” to grow. Another issue that comes about is heat loss. During the winter months, heating your home can become costly due to heat seeping out of the open crawlspace. Installing SilverGlo and a CleanSpace Liner help reflect heat and seal off the outside cold, helping reduce heading costs.

For years Kathy let her basement leak, not causing any issues, or at least she thought. Over time, mold and mildew had grown due to improper treatments to the seeping water. She finally decided it was time to fix the basement and reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems. CleanSpace Wall was offered to reduce the moisture levels from the seeping walls and to help prevent future mold growth. WaterGuard was installed along the perimeter of the basement to collect and redirect the seeping water, and a TripleSafe was installed to properly discharge the water out of the basement. With a dry basement, Kathy no longer worries about seeping water or mold growth.

Deborah moved into her home in 2003 and plans to live there forever but she is having slab settlement. Slab Settlement is the movement a concrete slap experiences when the soil below can no longer support the weight of it. Reasons this would happened would be because there Is changes in soul’s moisture content, Wash-out of soil under the slab, or poorly compacted fill soil. PolyLEVEL fills the void and the expansion of the polyurethane allows for a precise lift and stabilization of the slab.

Mark and Sandy were furious when they went down in their basement to find that their sump pump had quit working, causing the area to flood. They called MidAmerica Basement Systems to have their pump inspected. During the evaluation, it was noted that large amounts of water seepage would come into the home. This would make the pump over whelmed, causing it to fail and flood the basement. It was suggested that they installed a TripleSafe sump. A TripleSafe offers two primary pumps, making sure that the amount of water that seeps into the home is properly accommodated.
